The Sarah Party, part one

What better way to spend Sunday than in the company of other Sarah's. The Sarah Party was fabulous, really good. Sarahs had been found from all over, by email, word of mouth, and even using a placard calling all Sarahs to the party...

There was a Sarah shrine, honouring Sarahs well known or well loved...

Sarah games to play...

Sarah food to eat ...

And Sarah friends of all shapes and sizes to enjoy talking to, so many I hope I'll meet again ...

"Sarah Salway is the Madonna of writing books. The dancing one, not the Mother of Jesus one. Except she's younger and has had less plastic surgery. Sarah Salway that is. Also she writes really well."Neil Gaiman

"Original and charming" Marie Claire magazine

"Relationships and characters evolve nicely in this lighthearted novel about family and lovers and the not-so-lighthearted secrets that separate them" Publishers Weekly
